Think of a book, story, speech, play, or poem that has profoundly influenced you, one that has changed the way you see the world. Write one typed page about this text and its influence on you in the same manner that Douglass writes about Sheridan's speeches that he read in The Columbian Orator (see pp. 45-46 in Douglass's Narrative). This is an exercise in imitation; try to imitate, among other things, Douglass's sentence style, his appeals, and his organizational structure for this paragraph.
You do not have additional reading in Douglass's Narrative; we will catch up on discussing pp. 36-53.
